So how many first place votes will we get?

[NYCSUGrad]

I presume we're not going to actually jump Arizona but today's performance should impress the voters and get us closer to #1.

We got what 2 or 4 last week? I say we get around 9-10 and that guy Ron whatever in N.C. drops us out of his top 25 because we looked bad for the first 5 minutes

Same 2 as last week

We double it up - jump to 4.

Perhaps more important is that we will get some separation from the pack for that #1 seed in the East.

Hard to displace #1 when they haven't played in almost a week and don't even play again until Jan 2 (I believe). That being said, we may pick up an extra vote or two.

 

[CaptainJ]

We will pick up votes even more sluggishly than certain non-establishment candidates did in the primaries until either Arizona loses or we beat a ranked team on their home court. Luckily we apparently do get one chance to do that this year on February 1st. Im not sold on Pauley Pavillion helping us with the former in a couple weeks, but anything is possible.

 

[GonzoInMD]

I'm not expecting many more #1 votes, I just hope that the dimwads who have been putting us lower than #2 get a clue.

Good news: You have my vote.

Bad news: My vote doesn't count for anything.

 

[CuseFan]

Think we get 4-6 more, simply by recognition of playing a tough team. much tougher than Arizona played. don't think we will unseat them until they lose though.

what is stupid is how these polls work. lets say there is a team with one loss behind us...lets say it was a loss to an opponent that was not the greatest.

lets say we lose our first game of the year, in tight road game...against a quality opponent.

so..guess what..we get jumped by a team that has the same number of losses as we do...

all based on when you lose.

I don't like that either, I think we were number one a couple of years ago and lost the spot with one loss by a team with two. Doesn't make sense at all.
